Tovolo Mini Ice Cylinder- Squeeze & Release- Set of 2, 1000422, Gray

This is a great product! They are very durable and easy to use. Run hot water in the middle cylinder and some on the outer cylinder for easy removal. Different cubes I have made are coffee, orange juice, wine, hot cocoa, chai tea. The cubes were great for Baileys with coffee cubes, orange juice with wine cubes or vice versa. Peppermint rum chata with hot chocolate cubes. There are so many different flavored cubes that can be made. This is also a great gift idea!

HOLY GAME CHANGER! They produce so much in the span of 24 hours! They typically all freeze after 4 hours to 4 and half hours and it is so ideal! You definitely need to fill the little cup that's in the center with hot water for a bit and around the mold, but after that it's just a lift or turn and it releases like magic! I recommend leaving them right side up because that's where the water freezes from, but other than that they're nice and cozy to keep in the freezer! Seal them up in a gallon bag and you've got an amazing abundant source of ice! The size for these are also incredible! They're quality mini cubes to the core! Very very highly recommend if you're thinking of getting any ice mold for mini ice! Super affordable too! 🫶

Bigger than I expected they'd be. I was hoping they'd fit in the door of my tiny freezer but they do not. So they do take up more room than I would like. I'm a household of one and I don't use ice often, so these are a good solution. I fill them up, freeze, squeeze, and put them into a freezer storage container. All together filling them up 3 times made enough ice to fill the larger container. I didn't notice any leaks. It was easy to use. Easy to fill. It was frozen in just a few hours. Releases as promised with warm water. It does leave a bit of a disc of ice at the bottom. So you will have to break that up Not sure on the value for money. Maybe it's a little pricey but the concept is unique enough and it does what I wanted (make small amounts of ice for one and easy to unmold) so I'd say I'm happy with it.

I absolutely love these Tovolo Mini Ice Cylinders! They’re so clever and convenient. I bought them to use for my water bottles and travel cups, and the size of the ice cylinders is just perfect — they slip right through narrow openings. The silicone design makes removing the ice super easy. Just give it a quick squeeze, and the ice pops right out without cracking or struggling. The material feels durable and high-quality, and I like that the trays don’t take up much freezer space.

This works as a cylindrical silicon mold. You fill it with water and then push the center piece down into it. This forces the water up into each little ice cube cubby in the mold. Throw in the freezer for a few hours, bingo bingo, you've got mini ice. The issue is that the middle piece doesn't lock down, really. So you're left with a situation where oftentimes the water will pool at the bottom after you've set it in the freezer, and you won't know until you pull it out and end up with a nice big block of ice at the bottom of the mold. If you want to try it, it's not awful. But you need to make sure you set this on a flat shelf in your freezer to freeze, AND push down on the top firmly after you set it in there to make sure all the water pushes up into the cube molds completely. If you've got room for just a normal ice cube tray, you're probably better off using that.

Amazon purchase and delivery was easy. Instruction on use of the product was provided, but not necessary as the design is not only innovative, but intuitive. The Fill line is a bit hard to see, so its easy to overfill. You fill what looks like a whit rubber can coozie, the "ice tray" with water to the fill line, then insert what looks like a plastic cup holder into the coozie which pushes the water up the inside of the ice tray. Watch out for overflow, it can make a mess...best to insert the cup holder into the ice tray over the sink. Convenient placement in a freezer, especially if you don't have a lot of surface space, which is required for traditional ice trays. Freezing takes a few hours. When removing ice, you need to massage the ice tray, then try twisting out the cup holder like insert. Once the insert is out, it takes a bit of massaging the ice tray to get all the small cubes out. I find that working from the top down is the best technique. About half way down, pour out cubes, then work the other half of the ice tray. My daughter loves the tiny cubes "they're so cute". The cubes help cool a drink fast, but they do dissolve fast, so anything you are drinking will dilute, which is perfect for strong cocktails or water based drinks. Cubes are also perfect for packing objects in coolers...good surface area coverage.

Omg! I rarely leave reviews, but I felt the need to take the time to write one for this product. I LOVE nugget ice. I have contemplated purchasing an actual machine, but the specs say they are too bulky for the counter, or loud, and most have to be cleaned often to avoid the slimy stuff. So this was a cheap alternative to try. I DO NOT regret this purchase! It is easy to use, easy to clean, economical, and just great! Every time I use it, I refill it. I’m going to start saving the nuggets into zip top bags soon, but I’m using it on the daily right now and it’s such a great alternative to the machine! 100% recommend if you age limited counter space, for have time to clean bulky machines, or want nugget ice quickly.

The concept of these is great. Love the cylinder shape that allows for storing in the freezer door. As a senior I lack the strength needed to seperate tge inner pice from the ice tray. I have learned to run water in the center and let sit at room temperature for ~5 minutes. Once you can "crack the ice, with a strategic pull > twist method you can get the inner piece seperated from the ice tray. Good for two glasses of ice at a time.

When I first bought these two ice makers — the type where you fill the sides with water and put the lid on top — I was a little sceptical about how well they’d perform. But after using them for about two weeks, I can honestly say I love them. They do exactly what they’re meant to do. You do need to give them a bit of a tap or twist to release the ice, and removing the plastic centre helps, but once the ice comes out it’s crunchy, solid, and in neat little square pieces. The ice lasts all day when used in an insulated cup. I use one tray at a time and keep the other as a backup, though I rarely even need it. My iced coffee stays cold and refreshing for hours.

best ice mould i’ve ever used, perfect little cubes, great for iced coffee

El diseño del producto es excelente, uno de los mejores que yo he visto en hielo, para quienes necesitan cubos pequeños. Había comprado ya un par que me tiene muy contento y en una comida llamaron la atención de mi pareja, por lo que quise regalarle unos. El problema fue que cuando llegaron, venían con un defecto de fabricación o de manejo. Los habría vuelto a comprar sin problema si no hubiera sido porque entre que los compré y que llegaron con el defecto, habían perdido el descuento del Hot Sale y costaban casi 50% más.

Love this ice cube maker. Very simple to use and fits in the freezer door. Does not require a lot of water to make a bunch of small ice cubes and last a pretty long time if the drink was already cold in the fridge and using a double walled cup. Had no issues removing the ice as long as you follow the instructions and as others have mentioned, I did not have an ice puck at the bottom of the container when extracting the ice. Those people most likely over filled the container even though there’s a fill line on the container or did not fully seat the plastic insert because if they did, water that doesn’t fit would’ve came out of the two over flow holes. Also I had no issues with water spilling as I have to angle the container 45 degrees to fit the freezer door.

This is an amazing product and works as advertised. I am buying another set to replace my small ice-cube (1cm) trays. This makes small ice cubes, which are perfect if you are an ice-eater (like me), and enough for 1 drink if you like a lot of ice in it (like me). For regular folks, one of these makes enough ice for 2 drinks. You can de-ice it right into itself or a glass so there isn’t need for another container, and refill is quick and easy so you can do it right away. These do fit into my freezer door so they are easy to grab and don’t take up room inside. Tips: 1. When re-filling it, put it on a flat surface and press the top down until all the extra water is removed from the two holes on the top. (Watch out for the fountain!) This will also create suction keeping the water inside in place. 2. When de-icing, fill the center with hot water to detach it from the ice. This makes it easy to slide it out. 3. You do need to run it under hot water or let it sit to de-ice easily. 4. You do need to make sure the bottom is flat when freezing and the lid is secure in place. Otherwise it will sag and make flat ice at the bottom.
